As has been the case for several years, Samsung will focus on the rest of their product lines at CES 2024.

With countless attendees, booths featuring the latest products, and companies boasting about the benefits of AI, this conference is expected to be a game-changer. As our CES preview noted, while the event has had its ups and downs in recent years, it has become a prime opportunity for startups to capture the spotlight amidst the larger budget announcements from industry giants like Samsung, Sony, and Nvidia.

At TechCrunch, we will be covering CES 2024 from the ground, with a special focus on startups that could become headliners in just a few short years. You can follow our team’s coverage on both our site and social media handles. But let’s get straight to the point, because we all know those big-name events still hold a lot of significance.
